What does this word say in the 1871 census?
« on: Saturday 31 December 22 22:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone and happy new year!

Can anyone figure out what the enumerator has written for the last column please? Can't make out the first word: __ from birth

The entry is for Georgiana Spalding born 1853 in Sisland, living at Heckingham Workhouse in Norfolk in 1871.

Regards

My suggestion is Idiot from birth. Terrible hand writing!
Have a look at other census to see what is recorded for that person.

I thought “Idiot” before reading Neale’s reply. Agree - it’s definitely Idiot.
